Cool Crochet Necktie Patterns for Men and Boys

Tunisian Crochet Necktie Free Pattern

Petals to Picots

It can be really tough to figure out what to crochet for the men in our lives. While some enjoy our crochet socks, scarves, and sweaters, others don't like them as much--or maybe they've just received so many from us that they need something new. How about a crochet necktie? This is the kind of fun present that a guy can be proud to wear--a little funky but also a neat handmade token of your affection.

The crochet necktie is the quintessential gift for Father's Day but it also works for Dad's birthday or Christmas or just because. Dad will think of you every single time that he wears that tie or even notices it hanging in his closet.

And of course, this doesn't have to be something you only make for Dad. A crochet tie is something that any guy in your life could receive; you can even make little ones for the boys you know. And in this day and age, many women like to wear neckties, too, so you might even find that these necktie crochet patterns will be suitable for them!

    Rainbow Crochet Necktie Free Pattern

    Erin Horanzy

    This rainbow crochet necktie pattern uses self-striping yarn to create a bold design without requiring you to make color changes. Of course, you can use whatever yarn you'd like, so if Dad's style isn't bold enough for the rainbow, you can choose a solid-colored yarn or a more muted variegated yarn instead.

    This crochet tie pattern uses the half double crochet stitch, relying on easy increases and decreases for the shaping. It's customizable so you can easily make this tie wider or thinner, longer or shorter, based on the recipient's size and style.

    The skinny tie is associated with the hipster style but it is also inspired by vintage crochet, as was the case with this design. The little details make this pattern stand out above others. There is the loop in the back for properly tucking the tie in. Plus there's a great simple crochet edging that gives the necktie a polished look.

    Earl Gray Cravat Crochet Pattern

    The Firefly Hook, Ravelry

    In direct contrast to the modern appeal of the skinny hipster tie is the extra-wide alternative of a crochet cravat. The cravat originated in the 16th century and is considered the forerunner to the tie; it has been made popular again by the steampunk movement.

    This crochet pattern is part of the designer's "Tea & Cowls" collection. You will find tie patterns in some of their other collections as well, such as the Nicollet Avenue Tie in the Minneapolis collection.
